Society Forms

May 4, 1956, Twin City News-Record

All great things must start somewhere. Today, we see the formation of the Menasha Historical Society in 1956 at the Menasha Public Library on Mill Street.  Why they worked under the light of kerosene lamps and candles remains a mystery, unless they were hoping for some ambiance that would carry over into the subject matter.  Evidently, it worked because three short years later, the society was touted as the best that year in Wisconsin.
